Turning Wax Rings on a Polishing Machine Felt Stick

A tip from @maloupaul_jewellery for holding a wax ring on a hard felt stick on the polishing machine and scraping it with dental tools.

Here is a fun #diy lathe tip from @maloupaul_jewellery - “I don't have a lathe, but would love to have one. So instead, we just used a hard felt polishing stick on our polishing machine to hold the wax ring. To cut the wax ring we use some of our sharp dentist tools to scrape the wax off, layer by layer. You cannot go really quick. And if you push towards your machine, it will cut. If you push away from your machine, the ring will become loose, so you're able to remove it from the felt stick.” I absolutely love this! Thank you so much for sharing with our community. As always if you are using your polishing machine WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES 😎 #metalsmithsociety #communityovercompetition #jewelrycommunity #jeweller #benchjeweler #waxcarving #lostwaxcasting
